It seemed that people concurred there was no real reason to use nitrogen unless you were driving a race car that might be prone to blowouts... since nitrogen does not alter tire pressures as it heats up. If any of my info was stated incorrectly, will someone hit me over the head with a Smart Key, please?
I think Nitrogen is a gimmick.

The earth's atmosphere is about 78% nitrogen (I am guessing that is why you made that comment in your post).
